Ashley Monroe Embraces Motherhood

Women will tell you that motherhood is an adjustment and takes time to get used to it.  Ashley Monroe, one year after giving birth to her son Dalton, is starting to get back to her physical and mental space. "Probably when I stopped breastfeeding and starting smoking my vape pen again I got inspired,” Ashley said. 

Now she feels more inspired and motivated than ever before and is looking forward to writing more songs with this new found passion.  "It’s not (singing) ‘La, la la, life is grand,'" she says. "All these songs are coming out that I’ve never written anything like it before—but I’ve never felt anything like it before either, so it makes sense.”

Much of her last album, "Sparrow", was written while she and her husband Danks were trying to conceive and eventually recorded while she was pregnant. Ashley talks about how she felt big and bloated and not her best self at times. It appears that has changed now.  

Ashley is gearing up to reveal new music from the Pistol Annies, her side project with Miranda Lambert and Angaleena Presley.
